In a recent statement, Sajid Tarar, a prominent Pakistani-American businessman and supporter of Donald Trump, clarified that the US President-elect has no personal ties with former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. According to Tarar, Trump’s strategic focus will be on enhancing relations with India and scrutinizing human rights concerns in Bangladesh.

During an interview, Tarar dismissed claims of a personal relationship between Trump and Khan, asserting that while Trump had invited Khan to the White House during his presidency, he intends not to interfere with Pakistan’s internal judicial matters. Furthermore, Trump is set to closely monitor developments in South Asia, particularly regarding allegations of human rights violations against Bangladesh’s minority Hindu community.

Tarar highlights that Trump’s second-term victory represents a shift in US foreign policies, albeit with a renewed commitment to US-India ties. Trump’s proposed strengthening of the Pentagon and revisiting foreign policy alignments sets a different tone for the administration, distinct from President Obama’s legacy. The anticipated changes aim to reinvigorate the Republican Party and balance US politics.
